Ines Sananez learnt to apply deep genomic analysis to conservation biology

Deep genomic analysis was so cumbersome that it was reserved for absolute priorities like the Human Genome, Cancer, and Food Production. 

With the advent of Next Generation Sequencing, genomics can now be easily applied to other fields like Conservation Biology, which up to this point have relied chiefly on traditional research techniques. Inés Sananez went to the Instituto Tecnológico Vale for Sustainable Development in Belem do Pará, Brazil, to learn to do NGS and analyze genomic datasets with the aim of getting back to Argentina and studying a renal parasite of an endangered species to understand more about their interaction. 
 

We are thankful to Drs. Laura Kamenetzky and Guilherme Correa de Oliveira, for guiding Ines in this training experience.
